The Agenda (series three)

On the panel tonight will be ex-cabinet minister and onetime potential leader of the Labour party, David Miliband, Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Deborah Meaden, author Michael Morpurgo and journalist Clemency Burton-Hill.

Guests in series two, which saw record ratings for the programme, included all three party leaders - David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband - along with Harriet Harman, Boris Johnson, William Hague, Hugh Grant, Patrick Stewart, Fiona Shaw and Mariella Frostrup. David Cameron’s appearance marked the first time that a serving British Prime Minister had appeared on a panel show.

The Agenda ranges over dozens of topics - from tax avoidance to erotic literature – and comments made on the show that have made the news agenda include Ed Miliband calling for an independent inquiry to the BBC on Jimmy Savile and William Hague giving his views on the Act of Succession.
